Randolph commissioners dismiss entire library board after book controversy [View all]

...Monday night ...

The move comes two months after trustees voted to keep a picture book, "Call Me Max," about a transgender boy in the children’s section.

Nearly 200 people showed up to the public hearing on the future of the library board.

After two hours of public comments from folks on both sides of the issue, the commissioners voted 3-2 to remove all of the trustees, and dissolve the existing bylaws that govern them.

Commissioner Hope Haywood says she believes the intention is to appoint new members down the line, and develop new rules for that process. But she would have liked to have had those plans in place before dismissing all of the trustees.
